Amharc ar fhreagraThe information requested by the Deputy with regard to photography is available on my Department's website at www.agriculture.gov.ie/aboutus/ministers/photographycosts . This information is regularly updated by my Department. Wherever possible, the Department avails of internal photography skills.
My Department has not had any expenditure on content specifically for social media for the period in question. Photographs taken by professional photographers, as referred to above, are used on my Department's Twitter account. On occasion, my Department has availed of video making services, primarily for use at conferences and events such as the National Ploughing Championships. Following these events, such videos may be uploaded to my Department's Youtube channel and may be used as social media content.
